Spraying a remote control (RC) car is one of the best ways to enhance its look and performance. It is also an excellent way to protect the body from dirt, dust and other elements. There are many different techniques and products that can be used to spray an RC car, depending on what type of finish you are looking for and what material the car is made of.
The first step in spraying an RC car is preparing the surface. If the car has any stickers or decals, these need to be removed before spraying. You will also want to make sure that the surface is clean and free of debris. A good way to do this is with a damp cloth or paper towel. Once the surface has been prepped, you will need to apply a primer or base coat to provide a uniform finish.
Once the surface is prepared and primed, it’s time to begin spraying! Depending on what type of paint or finish you are looking for, you may want to use an airbrush or spray gun.
These tools will provide a more detailed and even finish than traditional aerosol cans. When using an airbrush or spray gun, it’s important to wear protective gear such as goggles and gloves.
When it comes time to actually spray your RC car, there are several techniques that can be used. The most common technique is called “wet sanding” which involves lightly wetting the area before spraying with very low pressure in order to avoid any drips or runs in the paint. Another popular technique is called “dry brushing” which involves using a brush instead of a sprayer.
Finally, once your desired finish has been achieved, it’s important not to forget about sealing the paint job. This can be done by applying a clear coat over top of your finished paint job which will help protect it from wear and tear over time.
Conclusion:
Spraying an RC car can be done easily with some preparation, protective gear and practice! With primer applied and protective gear on, you can choose between wet sanding or dry brushing techniques with either an airbrush or spray gun depending on what type of paint job you desire. Don’t forget about sealing your work with a clear coat at the end in order for it last longer against dirt, dust and other elements!
